Security Picks by Category
Start with the area you want to protect — front door, driveway, shed, side gate or dark spots around the house.
Gear Protection & Anti-Theft
Protect Your Gear Before the Grubs Get It
If you’ve got tools, mowers, trailers, bikes, or work gear sitting around, don’t wait until something goes missing to start thinking about security.
This section is all about simple gear protection — tracker tags, GPS trackers, padlocks, warning signs, trailer locks, shed locks, and handy anti-theft accessories that help protect the stuff you worked hard to buy.
Whether you’re a tradie, lawnie, camper, homeowner, or just someone with expensive gear in the shed, these are easy upgrades that can make your setup harder to steal and easier to track.
Where I’d start:
Tracker tags for small gear
GPS trackers for trailers and expensive equipment
Heavy-duty padlocks for gates, sheds, and toolboxes
Warning signs and stickers to scare off grubs
Trailer locks, wheel clamps, and hitch locks
Shed and toolbox security accessories, if it makes money, track it. If it sits outside, lock it.
If grubs can see it, make them think twice.
Bruce's Simple Starter Setup
If I was setting up basic home security from scratch, I’d start with the spots people actually walk through.
Front door first, then driveway or side access, then a sensor light near the darkest side of the house. If you’ve got tools, bikes, mowers or gear in the shed, I’d add shed security next.
You don’t need to go crazy straight away. Start with the main entry points and build from there.
